Divorce and Separation 40%

Facing the end of your marriage is tough. You don't have to face it alone. For more than 16 years, I have specialized in family law and have the experience to represent the interests of everyone involved.

40%
Child Custody 20%

In many cases. children are affected the most when when a family splits up. I believe that even though children may live in different households, they should still feel equally loved by both parents and never alienated from a household.

20%
Child Support 20%

Both parents are required by Tennessee law to financially provide for their children until they reach the age of 18. If you are having an issue with child support, you need the help of an experienced attorney handling child support cases.

20%
Uncontested Divorce 15%

Tennessee offers separating couples an option known as an uncontested divorce. This divorce option is often less stressful and emotionally draining than a contested divorce. It also means less time and money are spent on going to and from hearings.

Adoption 5%

Adoption is the process of substituting one or both of parents for another. After the adoption is complete, the new parents are the only parents recognized by the law and have the same rights and responsibilities as any other parents.

I have been using Mrs.Lambert for 13 years now all of those years except the last two were for child support and she fought my case. Last year my case changed and my husband was able to adopt two of my three children Mrs. Lambert made that process extremely easy and as soon as that case was done we s...tarted on the adoption process for my third child.(did this one last because it was more drawn out process but she did it without any issues. Mrs. Lambert was able to get the job done and it was finalized today. Thanks to her my family is complete even more then it was before bc now we all share the same last name. I appreciate her hard work over the years and I have recommend her to close family and friends but will also continue to do so!

Brilliant, Real & Absolutely Effective

Rachel represented me in my recent child support case. Upon my first visit with her, she helped me gain a realistic perspective of my case and helped me make the right decisions for my own wellbeing and for my family's. I went from feeling absolutely hopeless to hopeful. That is not a small task. I... don't think anyone else on earth, given the circumstances, could've put my mind at ease during that tumultuous time. She naturally represented me in ways I didn't know I needed to be represented, which was divine; I am so awkward in court and in the realm of the law; it is not my arena, and I, given my own devices, would royally screw myself immediately upon opening my mouth. She was my voice, and I trusted hers more than mine. I still do. I always will. I honestly felt like a lot of the allegations made against me were getting to me, the noise of the world around me beat me into a submissive position and I got really low. On several occasions, with ease and grace, she pointed out my good qualities and helped me feel like a human again - like a dad who loves his boys and would do anything for them. Knowing that she was in my corner was the only thing that let me sleep some nights. Rachel is not your everyday lawyer. She was recommended to me by another attorney who absolutely crushed it but couldn't represent me at the time. He didn't hesitate to drop her name, and now I see why. If you want honest to goodness representation, you can count on Rachel. I can't be more sincere in my recommendation. Because of her, I have a chance to build a relationship with my kids. Because of her, I'm moving forward with my life and looking forward to a positive future.

Rachel was incredible with this very difficult case!!!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RACHEL!! We had a complex case regarding child support and visitation and a very difficult opposing party!! She was our 3rd attorney! She came highly recommended to me by someone who had seen her in action many times in the courtroom. She wrote up a creatively detailed agreement, l...eaving no stone unturned. I’d put her up against any other attorney anyday. Totally trusted her advice. Don’t let the fact that she’s not in some big law firm fool you. It will only save you a lot of money, which she’s conscious of anyway. And I really appreciated that. This in itself says a lot about her character. So thankful for her!!!

Best Lawyer out there

Rachel Lambert honestly helped me out. She was very friendly, knew her job and did it well. Using her as my lawyer in my child support case is the smartest thing I could have done. She was definitely prepared for court and for anything that could have happened.

Review of how well she handled my case.

Rachel left me without a lawyer when I needed assistance and was trying to get my case settled, then lied to another attorney about why she dropped the case. She did not include a property settlement in the divorce or reimbursement for child support costs, leaving me without a lawyer to handle the mo...st important details of the case. The lawyer who eventually handled the property settlement said she did not handle this case appropriately.

Replied last February 24, 2015

This review is not true. First, in all divorces, you MUST have a property settlement, so it is not something that can be left out. Second, in all parenting plans, child support is a required provision that cannot be left out. These events described by the "anonymous client" are not plausible. Finally, the only cases where I have been forced to withdraw is when a client runs up a high attorney bill and refuses to make any payments for over 6 months. Perhaps, maybe this "anonymous" person is upset because my collection attorney is making her pay a bill.
